I also did not find any new bugs so far. If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, please also update your system. Unity 5.16 is now avaible, fixing some performance issues with OpenGL and multi monitor usage.

I just test this beta driver with my AMD radeon 7850 on Ubuntu 12.10, nothing work, Unity did not launch.
I go back to radeon open source drivers.

Similar case here, but with 6470M. Installation seems normal, but no 3d acceleration or anything after reboot .. Hmm .. :/

Did You installed a drivers from generated deb packages? If You install from binary an installer doesn't check some important dependencies, so acceleration doesn't work (I had similar situation ~1 year ago, but now I install drivers from deb packages and works like a charm; I didn't check it with 12.10).

@nadro If you are talking to me, I did make the deb packages and installed them and made sure to have the dependencies installed in advance...

I installed the beta drivers with generated deb packages method. In the log file, there was no errors messages.
